[Qgis-user] lastools wine Mac OS Catalina / Monterey AND QGIS

[Maria Shinoto]

Hi, 

I am running Mac OS Catalina in Intel Mac and QGIS 3.20, I would like to use lastools in the toolbox and thought this should be OK now with wine on Catalina. 

I have downloaded lastools and installed them in a path that might not be OK: 

	/Benutzer/username/gis/LAStools/bin/

This directory is stored in the options of the Preferences for LAStools (which are activated). 

I also installed wine64, and I got the path to the wine64 install from the terminal command "which wine64"

	/usr/local/bin/

I started wine64 via terminal, got the warning from Mac security and let it open anyway. That went OK the first time. 


Then I started to test lasinfo, asking for a histogram of classifications. I have two classes in my .laz file. 

Here is the error message I get

It seems that the problem is that the 32bit version for wine is working, as seen in the LAStools commandline: /usr/local/bin//wine

But I checked to use the new 64bit version. 


Where do I have to start to get this running?

Best, 
Maria

PS Earlier last year I asked about installation of lastools in QGIS since a lot of information on the web is just confusing, the more you read. Andrea Giudiceandrea kindly suggested to file a report on the QGIS developer's site, but until now, I hesitated since I am quite sure, the problem is more on my side, and I should be sure about what to report. Seems that was right...
